Skyflow: API Access for Privacy with Format-Preserving Tokens

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Skyflow offers a data privacy vault that is accessible via APIs. The company uses polymorphic encryption, an approach to privacy that enables operations on encrypted data tokens.

Unlike homomorphic encryption which enables operations on any encrypted data, Skyflow’s encryption works with tokens that have predictable structure, like credit card numbers, email addresses, and other personally identifiable information (PII).

The result is far faster than homomorphic encryption while delivering privacy that covers most enterprise use cases.
